No, Sorry -- An F

The AG also does not address the existence of the alternative legislative
impeachment process, other than to say that it might take too long. The failure
to address this alternative other than in passing requires at least a full grade
level deduction. If a criminal or ethical taint were sufficient to constitute a
"disability," then there would be no need for a constitutional impeachment
provision in the Illinois Constitution, which gives the sole power of
impeachment to the House of Representatives, with trial in the Senate, presided
over by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The AG again construes the
Constitution in such a way as to render one of its provisions
meaningless.

What is most shocking about the AG's papers is that I
expected so much more. Some case authority. Something other than strained
arguments based on the dictionary. Something more highbrow than quoting Barack
Obama and Harry Reid. The AG may end up winning this case, but not on the
strength of her papers. C-
And this woman was on Obambi's short list to replace him. [bad language deleted]
